Anchor Panel Not Sortable

[skmwrp]

First, while creating anchors, they do not show up in the Anchor panel in the order they are in the document, but alphabetically, which in some cases is not useful and limiting.

Problem is that dragging an anchor gives the impression that they can be sorted manually, but they just jump back into alphabetical order. If giving the user the idea of being able to manually change the order of anchors, they should then stay in that order.

Thirdly, it doesn't even sort alphabetically consistently, as demonstrated by Section 1 being near the bottom of the given list. It cannot be moved and we don't know why. It was the first created and is located at the top of the document.

(The games as subsets is just a means to work around not being able to place these in manual or document order.)

And, really, when we double-click on an anchor, we kinda expect to jump there in the document. Not have to click-to-select and then hit that little Go To Anchor target.

While the limited and thus cumbersome page number options (no visibility at each entry, no manual typing) in the panel UI might feel like missing features, the obviously designed but not working UI for moving a selected anchor 'layer' within the panel appears like a bug.

Any update on this issue? It's still baffling to me that the Anchors are not sorted (or sortable).

There's no change but there's a v2 thread where this has been discussed so it would be better to ask in it.
